Sudden and more severe signs and symptoms may be seen if a blood clot (thrombus or embolus) develops at the site of the plaque thereby causing a more rapid blockage. The signs and symptoms that arise as a result of atherosclerosis emanates from the tissue or organ which is receiving blood ...
This can happen if a clot travels from another part of the body to the brain and then blocks a blood vessel, if the blood vessels have plaque buildup that makes them too narrow, or if a blood vessel bursts. In any of these scenarios, brain cells cannot get the oxygen they need to ...
the decreased blood supply to the leg muscles can causeclaudicationor painin the legs with activity. Plaque buildup in arteries of the neck or brain can lead tostroke. Plaque that builds up in the arteries of the heart can lead to heart attack. ...
Hip and leg muscle cramps that hurt when you move but feel better when you rest could be a sign of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is a buildup of fatty plaque in leg arteries that is linked to a higher risk of heart disease.7 6. Depressive Feelings Depression on its own is ...

If atherosclerosis affects the arteries that supply blood to your heart, the condition might lead tocoronary artery disease. Here, the plaque in the coronary artery causes your blood to clot. These clots block the blood supply to your heart muscles, leading to weakening of the heart and finally...
The article focuses on a research published in the periodical "Global Heart," which aimed at analyzing the use of portable ultrasound device for monitoring plaque levels in arteries.EBSCO_AspHarvard Heart Letter
Unfortunately for some patients, they may have no symptoms at all, even with significant narrowing of their coronary arteries, and they may first present for care in the midst of amyocardial infarctionorheart attack, when a coronary artery is completely blocked. This is especially true for women...
When you think of heart disease symptoms, pain or pressure in your chest may be the first example that comes to mind. If you have coronary artery disease (CAD), the arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle are narrowed—usually as a result of plaque buildup on the walls of th...
Picture of a Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) - Buildup of Cholesterol Plaque and Blood Clot Atherosclerosis is often generalized, meaning it affects arteries throughout the body. Therefore, patients with heart attacks are also more likely to develop strokes and peripheral vascular disease, and ...
